Accountability

Power without a sunset is just another bureaucracy.

CEPRA must be strong enough to investigate and coordinate — and constrained enough that it cannot become unaccountable. Authority without review is how institutions fail the people they were built to protect.

Four safeguards

  1. Annual public reporting

    Mandatory public reports on case volume, clearance, funding use, platform compliance actions, and survivor-services outcomes — in plain language, on a fixed calendar.

  2. Independent Inspector General

    An Inspector General with full audit and investigative authority over CEPRA operations, independent of the Authority’s leadership.

  3. Biennial Congressional review with sunset

    Structured reauthorization every two years. No automatic permanence. Congress must affirmatively renew the mandate.

  4. Survivor advisory council

    A formal survivor advisory council with a statutory role in standards, reporting priorities, and care protocols — not a ceremonial panel.

Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
